Abstract
Most parents want to offer the assistance and information their kids need to become accountable and satisfied grownups. Mother and father, however, are sometimes scared of referring to sex with their children. It may be because they feel unpleasant referring to reproduction areas of one’s human body and features. For many parents, the subject of sex never came up when they were growing up. Sometimes they wonder if referring to sex and related topics would motivate their kids to research. The truth is adolescents, whose parents talk about all factors of sex with them, usually wait before becoming sexually active in comparison to those parents who do not talk about this subject. Such parents are not sure what their kids need to know and at what age they need to know it. With early maturity and exposure to sex life, teens are today using birth preventive measures more frequently. Some are doing it with no idea of the effects and long-term outcomes of these actions. They are ashamed to share their sex life and opinions with their parents, who too speak little on the topic. Many parents have wished they had shared the information with their teens early enough to prevent adverse outcomes that they may not have control. Other parents are unaware of the emotional strains and the advice needed by their teens on parental control.
